I've been diving for about three years now and have about 70 dives under my belt.
I've just signed up for Nitrox training as well as AOW.
Shortly after getting my Open Water cert, my original log book (the tiny one provided by PADI) filled up and I bought a bigger one. I continued to log my dives over the next two years. Just got back from my last trip and my log book is nowhere to be found. Many of my diving friends have told me not to stress. Just start a new log when I do AOW training. A few of my friends have told me to just go back and pull as much as I can from memory, trip by trip, dive by dive. Truth is, I donlt think I can do that. Too labor intensive and the end result wouldn;t have much integrity. My dive buddy for most of the trips doesn;t even bother logging anymore, so that's not a source of info.
In the end, I guess I want to know how many people actually continue to log every dive.
In addition, will having 50 of my most recent dives NOT in my logs hurt me in continuing my traing/diving?
What can I do to set things right, if anything?
Thanks, you just know after I get this all worked up my log will suddenly appear!
Happens all the time................
